View Full Version : Metal shavings ?
Is it normal to find metal shavings on the magnetic pick up located at the tip of the gear lube drain screw. I cahnged my lube last night and there was what I would consider a small amount of metal shavings fixed to the screw tip.

Little dark crap stuck to it or slivers of silver? Any gold color to the oil?
No Sweat! Real normal, when the accumulation gets heavy its time to pull it apart. Even then you can re use most everything, just bearings and a good shim job usually gets most going again. The first new change can look a little bad from parts breaking in, second change usually very little.

Sam,
What you found is normal. Unless there is a heavy amount, no need to be concerned. Wipe clean and fill 'er up.
